Holy cheeks! The bride’s face has been sculpted to perfection and we’re gushing over those lethal cheekbones. To ape the eye makeup look, you can start with a lighter shade on the inner corner of your eyes and then ombre out to a darker hue. This will help give your eyes a lifted look. Apply kohl along the upper and lower waterline. Then, take your eye makeup from regular to remarkable by sticking on a set of lush lashes. 

Nude Mauve Eyeshadow To Make A Statement
